Complete the following biography on your character:
Full Name: Verisae Windblade
Current Age: 29
Sub-race (if any): Northerner
Past / History (include childhood, major-events, etc. 2+ paragraphs long): I arrived to Anthos with a friend of mine from the North, Kailar, whom I was separated from early after arriving to the to Anthos. I lived a childhood that was rather dull, and I had found myself lusting for adventure. I had read about great battles that my ancestors had fought, though greatly to my disapointment I learned that a child would not be able to fight. I was determined from the young age of 9 to leave home and become a warrior. The Windblade family consisted of 3 children. My brother Vhandis and I were twins, and the first born of the family. We also had a cousin by the name of Larson Windblade who lived with our family after his uncle passed away.
When I was 13, I finally thought that I was old enough to become a warrior, and so I left home. I had foolishly overlooked the fact that it was winter. I had spent the good portion of a week wandering aimlessly though the snow. At some point the bone-chilling cold of the winter had finally defeated me. I found myself void of the energy needed to escape the cold, and at this point, I had accepted my imminent demise. In the distance I heard a voice. A man approached me, and dragged me into a nearby cave. I met the warm embrace of a fire there, which is likely what kept me from dying on the floor right there. The man introduced himself of Kailar Valkrae, and to this day I owe a debt to him for saving my life that day.
Kailar and I split up soon after, I pursued a quest to improve my worth as a swordsman. Long I traveled in the North, town to town. City to City. Village to Village. I worked and trained and worked. I ended up a rather decent swordsman. I was living in a small village when I got word from Kailar to meet him at a ship and we would travel together. After a months travel, I met up with him. We were lost on the ship.
Ambitions for the Future: Verisae has kept his ambitions to become a warrior, however he is now indebted to the Valkrae family for saving his life.
Personality: Verisae is an honorable person, and is honor-bound of the Valkrae Family. He avoids combat if it is unnesecary, though he is willing to fight if there is no other choice.
Skills: Verisae is a skilled swordsman, though his perfered weapon is a Halberd.

Any other details you wish to share about your character: The Windblade extended family includes 4 people (Verisae and Vhanids are twins, our Cousin is Larson Windblade, Xenn Windblade was adopted by our family).

____
1. Whilst in the mighty human capital you notice a dark-clothed figure stealthily making his way towards the Emperor’s palace - he is clearly up to no good. There are guards within shouting distance - what do you do?
Answer:I trail the man, making certain that he commits no crimes. If I see him attempt to, or commit a crime, I shout for the guards, and also tackle the man. I attempt to hold him to the ground until the guards arrive, though if he draws a weapon, or manages to push me off, I would draw my blade and attempt to defend myself. I'd avoid killing the man as long as possible, though if it ultimately becomes apparant that I will recieve no aid from the town guard, then I will attempt to subdue the man until the Authorities arrive.
2. Whilst wandering in the deep oak forest you come across a large clearing, in which sits a small cobbled cottage. Outside it stands an unstable old man armed with a small iron blade, surrounded by two heavily armed bandits - they appear to be threatening him. You are armed with leather armour and an iron longsword, how do you react?
Answer: I approach the men, and attempt to talk them out of robbing the man. Most likely this would fail, and in the case it does, I draw my blade, and prepare to fight. If I were to take any fighting style in particulear, I would attempt to dodge them, rather than agressively attacking. I would shout to the man and warn him to leave, so that he can avoid being injured.
3. You are standing within the mighty human capital when you notice a small man standing behind a colourful stall. You approach the stall and notice that the man is selling a variety of general goods - he says that he is selling just about anything and that he has no set prices. He is willing to allow you to haggle and choose prices. What do you do? (Explain: your haggling, items of choice and the discussion that happens).
Answer: I ask him to show me any blades and armors he may have in stock. Not being much of a haggler, I ask him to set a price he believes reasonable. Assuming the price is reasonable, I'd likely pay it, though if it were outrageous, I would either leave, or point out the insanity of the price, and attempt to bring it down to something he could afford to pay, and would be willing to.
